I HEARD A RUMOUR
One of the 'Nanas most popular tracks with a magnificent dance routine to boot. A favourite of the fans, I HEARD A RUMOUR was the first single to be released off the popular album WOW! However, many fans have stated that the release of this single thwarted the chart position of second single, and highest charting to date; LOVE IN THE FIRST DEGREE. I guess we'll never know if the single order was changed that the 'Nanas would have had their first number one in the UK. The song is still played on music channels today and was used in the film 'Disorderlies'.
LYRICS

Who needs friends who never show? I�ll tell you what you wanna know?
I could have saved a broken heart, if I found out long ago

I�m just thinking about those lonely nights, when I waited for your call
Till I found out all my friends were right (ooh, ooh, ooh), I didn�t know you at all

I heard a rumour (oh, oh, I heard a rumour)
They say you�ve got a broken heart (I heard)
I heard a rumour (oh, oh, I heard a rumour)
Yes I did, boy, oh, oh, oh, ooh

Now it seems they�re telling me, you�ve changed your wicked ways
But should I give you a second chance? Baby, I�m too afraid

So you realise what hurt you gave and the love you threw away
How can I forgive or soon forget? It's never gonna be the same

I heard a rumour (oh, oh, I heard a rumour)
They say you�ve got a broken heart (I heard)
I heard a rumour (oh, oh, I heard a rumour)
Yes I did, boy, oh, oh, oh, ooh

I heard a rumour (oh, oh, I heard a rumour)
They say you�ve got a broken heart (I heard)
I heard a rumour (oh, oh, I heard a rumour)
Yes I did, boy, oh, oh, oh, ooh, whoa!

I�m just thinking about those lonely nights (I�m just thinking about)
When I waited for your call
Till I found out all my friends were right (till I found out) (ooh, ooh, ooh)
I didn�t know you at all

I heard a rumour (oh, oh, I heard a rumour)
They say you�ve got a broken heart (I heard)
I heard a rumour (oh, oh, I heard a rumour)
Yes I did, boy, oh, oh, oh, ooh

I heard a rumour (oh, oh, I heard a rumour)
They say you�ve got a broken heart (I heard)
I heard a rumour (oh, oh, I heard a rumour)
Yes I did, boy, oh, oh, oh, ooh

I heard a rumour (oh, oh, I heard a rumour)
They say you�ve got a broken heart (I heard)
I heard a rumour (oh, oh, I heard a rumour)
Yes I did, boy, oh, oh, oh, ooh

THE VIDEO

It's basically just the girls in posh costumes singing along to the track with another fantastic dance routine to learn. The costumes include a Cowgirl and French can-can dancers, giving the video a 1920's feel to it.

WATCH OUT: For some of the bloopers left in the video - such as Siobhan messing up the dance routine and Keren breaking her toy gun!
